One of the many things I love about Close To My Heart is the variety of products that are offered to allow us to be creative and to preserve our memories that help to make things faster and simpler. One of my favorite such items are the Workshops On The Go. These are kits put together so that the guess work is taken out. No need to ask questions like "where should I start? What should my layout look like? What and how do I embellish my papers with?" So and and so forth.... With the Workshops On The Go (or WOTG for short), you are given a FULL paper pack which includes co-ordinating cardstock (value 9.95$), a D-Sized stamp set (value 17.95$), matching embellishments (variety of prices) plus a full-coloured easy to follow step-by-step guide on how to cut your paper pack (to maximize the use), how and what to stamp your images and put it all together with embellishments. It also tells you what extra supplies are required to complete it (ie inks, trimmer, etc). All this for a low price of 24.95$. The guesswork is taken out.

This past weekend, I worked on 2 such WOTG: Babycakes and Huntington. The results are as follows:

First Babycakes:



I love how easy this was put together. I also loved how a "pop" of Lagoon ink was used to create a beautiful layout. The adorable baby, by the way, is my cousin's son Tyler. What a cutie!! Journaling is still to come!

Next is Huntington:




So easy once again! The pictures are so vintage (was taken at an "Old Tyme" photo shoot) and the paper pack was a perfect mesh for them. Journaling is again still to come!

I am in love with WOTG and will continue to buy them again and again, although I also plan on creating layouts on my own, with my own ideas on a regular basis.

Happy Scrapping!!

Sooooo.... today was my first CTMH open house, which I co-hosted with my friend, Dominique .Unfortunately only 2 people showed up, but that's OK. It was a learning experience! This is also to help gear me up to my first vendor show the Christmas Show on Carling Ave Travel Lodge in Ottawa in November. I hope to see more of you there!!

In the meantime, here are some pictures from the open house today.

The first picture shows my set up with boards showing all the new paper packets. It also shows a bunch of  the incredible new products CTMH is offering in the new catalog.


The next 2 pictures show some of the artwork I created (some of which was at convention in June) including the Laughing Lola WOTG cardmaking kit.



The last picture shows the catalogs, order forms and "yummy" promo for the month, which is a FREE August Stamp of the Month with any 50$ purchase.


That's all for now!! Happy scrapping!!
